W113 Model Modification List
« on: August 03, 2023, 16:59:02 »
Hi,
I put a translated Engelen list of modifications of our Pagodas in the Technical Manual:
https://www.sl113.org/wiki/Main/W113ModelData
The translation  (from German in to English (US)) comes from an internet platform and should be read carefully. But even in the German version it is sometimes unclear what exactly is meant.
It would be nice if native speakers could check this out.

Ditto.   This is very useful having these modifications in this form.  Combined with the illustrations/photos in Pagoda Notes, it is helpful regarding originality concerns.

Does it correlate with the list in Pagoda Notes?  They should match, I assume.

Hi,
the lists in Pagoda Notes are based on what Frank Mallory Sr. published in a magazine called “Mercedes Collector” in the mid 90’s and most of the data in his compilation was translated from the corresponding tables in Engelen lists.

Wre...

regrettably your updates removed my carefully changed table edits which improved the formatting. I've made those again. Before you "upload"  your table, please copy what I've made of it... and change that...

Hi Peter,
that's what I did, made a copy to my Excel table and made some corrections and paste it back. Maybe Bill G. decided to do some more changes.
Thank you, it looks great!
